DRGS/DRPS school renovation fund raiser: Saidia kidogo tafadali

Message from Peter G. Wanjama (Liaison with the Trustees) 09 March 2022.

As promised in my last missive we are now ready to receive and disburse funds.

You are all aware of how the family of Dr Ribeiro have enabled us to renovate the school buildings, construct new classrooms and commence building and furnishing the Esther Fausta de Souza Ribeiro Library. It is now up to us, the Alumni, to carry this initiative to completion.

The complex contains an IT and Audio Section besides the conventional Bookshelves. And it is filling these is the challenge presented to us.

Books, Computers and Audio material are all required. In contributing to this we are showing not only our appreciation for what we received in our time but also our vision that OUR School can make to future generations. Kindly share our WhatsApp link with other Alumni that you may know. More information may be gleaned from our website.

Asenteni sana.

His young daughter watched helplessly in the back seat of the family car. Pinto, a Member of Parliament at the time, was Kenya’s first political martyr. One man was wrongly accused of his death, served several years in prison and was later released and compensated. Since then no one has been charged with the murder. Now the long-awaited book on Pio Gama Pinto is finally here, launched in Nairobi on 16 October 2018....
